Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 64: Kid, why are you so fierce now?

The next day.

Chen Weidong slept in and when he suddenly opened his eyes, a baby's face came into view.

I saw Wu Ni lying on Chen Weidong's face, blinking her big eyes and staring at him.

Is this kid here to spy on me? When he opened his eyes...

"Dad is awake, hairpin~hairpin~"

The little fellow cried in a baby voice.

"Yours! Don't scare your father like that next time!"

Chen Weidong sat up from the kang and handed over the butterfly hairpin from his pocket.

"Mom said to let Dad get more sleep and not let Wu Ni call him dad."

After Wu Ni got the hairpin, she explained incoherently and then ran out happily.

After getting up, Chen Weidong began to teach the little ones how to brush their teeth, and then he led the donkey cart to the home of the village chief Wang Guofu to return the donkey cart.
A few little kids originally wanted to go along, but when they heard that they were going to Wang Guofu's house, they shook their little heads like rattles.

~

Wang Guofu was squatting on the doorstep, smoking a pipe. When he saw Chen Weidong, he quickly stood up and knocked the tobacco butt out of the pipe.

"Weidong, I heard from the villagers that you shot a cannon ball. You are really capable!"

Wang Guofu said with envy.

"I was just lucky." Chen Weidong smiled and said, "Uncle Guofu, I'm returning the donkey cart."

"Okay, okay. Next time if you need to borrow a donkey cart, just ask your Uncle Guofu."

Wang Guofu smiled and said, one rabbit can be used for one day, which is more cost-effective than buying and selling.

After leaving Wang Guofu's house, Liu Xueting's breakfast was ready. Then, after the family of eight had eaten,
Chen Weidong cut two pieces of meat, said something to Liu Xueting and went out. This time, the three little ones Sanni, Sini, Wuni and Heihu followed him happily.

Chen Weidong gave a piece of meat to his mother Wu Xiuqin. After being greeted for a long time, he came to his eldest brother Chen Weihai's house.

Just as Chen Weidong was about to enter the house, he saw Yang Xuehua walking out of the house with Dafei and Xiaofei.

"sister in law!"

Chen Weidong shouted quickly, and the three little kids also called them "Auntie" obediently.

Yang Xuehua is Chen Weihai's daughter-in-law.

I married her from the village next door.

He is also seven years older than himself.

I was really nice to myself at the beginning.

"It's Weidong! Come in quickly,"

Chen Weidong walked in quickly. His elder brother and sister-in-law had two children, Dafei and Xiaofei, one was twelve years old and the other was nine years old. When they saw Chen Weidong, they greeted him obediently.

Chen Weidong: "Sister-in-law, I'll bring you some meat! Where's your brother?"

"Your elder brother went out early in the morning, why did you bring any meat when you came to your sister-in-law's house?"

"Even if you kill a wild boar, you can't spend money like this..."

"..."

After leaving his sister-in-law's house with the children, Chen Weidong packed up and took Hei Hu into the mountains to collect the traps.
Then they went to Qizigou. Chen Weidong wanted to try his luck, but unfortunately he was not as lucky as yesterday and did not even see a wild boar hair.

……

Time flies, and five days passed in a flash. During these days, Chen Weidong not only stayed at home to accompany his wife and children, and took the children to visit his mother and eldest brother's homes, but also took Heihu to the mountains to practice shooting birds.

In five days, he used up forty or fifty bullets and shot more than twenty birds. After using up the bullets, Chen Weidong's accuracy improved a lot compared to before.

In the meantime, Chen Weidong went to the county town again and again to bring the dried water dog skins, weasel skins, etc. to the purchasing station.
The total sales amounted to 137.80 yuan. Chen Weidong now has about 180 yuan in his hands, which can be considered as some savings.

Early this morning, Chen Weidong was sitting on a wooden stool, holding a piece of cloth and wiping the Hanyang-made parts.

Chen Weidong wiped it very carefully, cleaning each part one by one, and then assembled them together.

After assembling it, Chen Weidong pulled the bolt, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, aimed around, and checked the gun's sights.

"Oh my god!"

Just as Chen Weidong aimed his gun at the door, he heard someone shouting.

Chen Weidong quickly put away his gun, stood up, and walked to the door. He saw his third aunt Li Guifang sitting on the ground at the door of his house, holding a jar in her hands. "Third aunt, why are you here?" Chen Weidong quickly went up to help her up.

"Why are you here? Why are you so aggressive now, kid? Can you point a gun at anyone?"

"Aunt San, I'm cleaning the gun. There are no bullets in it!" Chen Weidong explained with a smile on his face.

"Why are you cleaning your gun? You almost wasted a jar of soybean paste!"

"Aunt San, why are you here with a jar of soybean paste?"

Chen Weidong said with a smile.

"I heard you like to eat this, and I happened to have some extra at home, so I sent you a small jar. By the way, what is the mother doing?"

Li Guifang handed over the jar in her hand.

"She went to dress the child! She will be out soon."

Chen Weidong took the jar from Li Guifang without any hesitation. Soybean paste is a good thing and he likes it.

As he was talking, a few little guys came running out of the house panting.

"Third Grandma is here!"

"Third Grandma~"

Dani and the little ones quickly greeted them!

"Third grandma, do you think Si Ni's new cotton shoes look good?" Little Si Ni ran to Li Guifang and said in a baby voice.

Chen Weidong was speechless. Yesterday, Liu Xueting finally finished making shoes for the six little ones. Si Ni was very proud when she put them on.

"It looks good. Sini's shoes are so pretty!" Li Guifang smiled.

"These are new shoes made by my mother. This is the first time that Si Ni wears new shoes! And the ones bought by my father..."

Si Ni wanted to show off her hairpin when Liu Xueting came out.

"Aunt San! You're here, come in and sit down!"

"No need to sit down, I just came here to serve you the sauce, I still have to go home to be your uncle's wife!"

Li Guifang was just about to leave.

"Aunt San, wait a moment."

After Chen Weidong finished speaking, he walked into the house, took out a skinned and smoked rabbit, and handed it to his third aunt.

These days, Chen Weidong hunted seven or eight rabbits, half of which he sold and the other half he skinned, smoked, and ate!

"Aunt San, take it."

"You kid~"

"Aunt San will not be polite with you. I will ask your Bingzi to bring you some red eggs later."

Li Guifang took the rabbit, turned around and quickly left the yard.

After seeing Aunt Guifang off, Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting started cooking.

Noodles for breakfast.

After Liu Xueting cooked the noodles, Chen Weidong chopped some minced meat and some diced dried mushrooms and made a mushroom meat sauce.

Use a spoon to scoop up the fragrant and oily shiitake mushroom meat sauce and cover it with the green vegetables.

Add a little Northeastern soybean paste.

Suddenly.

This bowl of noodles has become more flavorful.

The little ones are very hungry.

I sat happily at the table, staring at the mushroom and meat sauce noodles in front of me, greedy.

"Eat quickly."

Chen Weidong said with a smile while holding Liu Ni.

After he finished speaking, the five little girls immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating noodles with a slurp.
